Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] [External] : Re: Pushing RCx or Mx to maven

[Tibor Digana <tibordigana@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The main purpose of Nexus Staging Repo is internal within the Jakarta organization and it is mainly testing purposes in the Q/A team, and so the staging repo is temporal and has only a time limited life cycle.

If we make a decision regarding the staging repos, we would have problems with the arguments that these repos have been deleted at some time.

Additionally, the names of staging repos are not general per Spec. They are not named like "BVAL". Their name has a postfix number been automatically generated by the staging server, e.g. BVAL-236289, BVAL-04832662 etc, and the list of staging repos in the server would be large and totally messy for the customer in order to understand which one should be picked up and which one is related to Git commit or Jira ticket.

Some of these RC/M spec project builds may depend on final builds of
other spec projects. Final build of the spec project cannot be published
to maven central (or basically anywhere from where it cannot be
immediately deleted should the request for it come) with out prior
approvals from EF (release review process) and spec committee (ballot).
What is the point of pushing knwown-to-be  broken for some undefined
period of time broken RC/M builds to maven central?


Should anyone have a need to use artifacts from the staging repo in his
project, adding the staging repo to his pom is relatively easy to find
and simple thing to do.
